Acetic acid only partially ionizes in water. A solution contains a large quantity of acetic acid dissolved in water. How can this acid solution best be described?

The acid solution is a concentrated solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, because it ionizes partially in water as shown below:

CH3COOH + H2O —> H3O+ + CH3COO-

A solution containing a larger quantity of acetic acid is termed concentrated solution.

This is so because a concentrated solution is a solution that contains more of the solute than the solvent.

A solute is the substance which dissolves in the solvent.

A solvent is the substance which dissolves a solute.

In this case, acetic acid is the solute and water is the solvent.

Solution is simply the combination of solute and solvent

Solution => Solute + Solvent

More solute + Less solvent => Concentrated solution

Therefore, a solution containing a higher quantity of acetic acid ( i.e the solute) in water (i.e the solvent) is called a concentrated solution.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
